Hello! I'm Ginger of Out West Originals, the one you will see behind the lens more than in front of it. I am based in Lebanon, Oregon where I live with my hubby. We are close to empty nesters as one of our two kiddos have all but moved out and starting her life and career. I am super proud of both of them as they are doing great things and have a great future. 

Dogs and horses are, by far, my favorite of the four-legged pet options. I don't know a day in my life without the companionship of a dog and all but 15 years of hearing a horse nicker when I walk out the door. The bonds that we form with our pets are strong as they give unconditionally, greet us with wagging tails or little nicker, and provide comfort on rough days. That's why, as pet parents, we should Honor, Celebrate, and Commemorate them with portraits. 

Your four-legged family members are as important as the two-leggers and should have wall space or an album of photos so they can be remembered long after they are gone. As much as we want our pets to live as long as we do, that's just not how God made them.
